Description

Coat Protein, Citrus Tristeza Virus CAS NO 138016-88-3 is a purified viral structural protein essential for research and diagnostic applications in plant virology. This protein serves as a critical antigen for the development of highly specific serological assays and immunological reagents. It is primarily utilized by agricultural research institutions, plant pathology laboratories, and biotech companies focused on crop protection and disease management.

Application

• Primary antigen for the production of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies specific to Citrus Tristeza Virus (CTV).
• Critical component in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits for the sensitive detection of CTV in plant tissues.
• Use as a positive control and calibrator in molecular diagnostic and serological testing platforms.
• Fundamental research tool for studying virus structure, assembly, and host-plant interactions.
• Development of lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) strips for rapid, field-based detection of CTV.
• Antigen source for vaccine research and cross-protection studies in citrus plants.
